Test results

We decided to test the application on our test device Galaxy S8 G950F 64GB. The download and installation took the same as any other similar app. The first impression was good. The app looks well-designed and organized.

Antivirus protection

Once we download and installed K7 Mobile Security for Android, we performed a full scan. It detected all 20 infected apps installed on our test device. We also wanted to check how the app performed in any bigger antivirus tests, conducted by independent testing labs, however, none of them has tested the K7 Mobile Security for Android application, only Windows antivirus protection.

According to the latest independent, German-based AV-TEST testing lab, K7 Total Security for Windows has detected 100% of both, zero-day and widespread malware.

Backup and Restore Data. K7 Mobile Security allows users to create backups for contacts and messages and restore them to other devices.

Retrieval Assist Features assist in the retrieval of the lost phone with features like burglar alarm and more.

Privacy Advisor feature provides users with security reports in order to keep them informed on installed apps and how they use or abuse personal data.

System-performance impact and scans

We did not notice any negative impact on our test smartphone while using K7 Mobile Security. In addition, it did not affect the battery life or generated too much traffic. However, as it was mentioned before, we cannot compare our test, with any independent testing labs’ results.

When it comes to scanning performance, K7 Mobile Security includes on-demand and scheduled scanners. Scans are easy to preconfigure or schedule without draining battery power or facing start-up issues
